(40th Annual Farmworker Appreciation Breakfast)…It is now history.

The Appreciation Breakfast was held Friday morning from mid-night to 5:00 am in Calexico. Judging by the number of plates served, over 2,000 farmworkers enjoyed a tamale breakfast at the Calexico One Stop Business and Employment Services Center, America’s Job center of California. The Farmworker Appreciation Breakfast began at the Employment Development Department in Calexico, serving sweet bread and coffee and has evolved into a major annual event.
